As always, this year’s Oscars honors the best artists in the industry who have passed away in the past year with the “In Memoriam” segment, but there are some regrets. The In Memoriam segment pays homage to the filmmakers and actors with an emotional two- to three-minute segment in which an omitted piano piece is played. This year, Lenny Kravitz took to the stage to perform the tearful “Calling All Angels,” and the famous filmmaker’s name and image flashed across the screen. It takes a lot more effort than its predecessor, In Memoriam, which dropped past ideas before viewers could read their names.
However, for all the shocking moments of the 2023 Oscars ceremony, one of the most shocking parts of the more than three-hour event was all the glaring omissions of this year’s commemoration. . Obviously time is limited and there are only so many artists that can be honored, but it’s hard to forgive these filmmakers and actors who have left a huge mark on Hollywood, no matter what. whether it’s just a memorable role or a hit movie. Although the Academy has put in more effort in this year’s category, these actors and directors totally deserved it.
